  2. What Were Felix and Ana's 2025 Favorites?

    10/12/2025

    What Were Felix and Ana's 2025 Favorites?

    This year was bookended by two major statements in Latin music. In January, Bad Bunny released DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, and followed that up with a 31-show residency in Puerto Rico over the summer. Then, in November, the Spanish vocalist Rosalía released her genre-defying masterpiece LUX, which sent legions of music lovers scrambling to try to grasp the magnitude of an album performed in 13 different languages. But they were only the tip of the iceberg of yet another year of mind-bending creativity in Spanish language music. This week we look back at some of the other artists and recordings that made 2025 another year of adventurous and rewarding listening. These six artists made only a fraction of music that caught our attention. But we only have so much time on these podcasts! Use this as a starting point to explore the year that was on your own. And check out more of NPR Music's coverage of the best music of 2025 here. Enjoy! Artists and albums featured in this episode: - Bad Bunny, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS- Rosalía, LUX- Queralt Lahoz, 9:30 PM- Roxana Amed, Todos los Fuegos- Arath Herce, Musas en Mi- Mon Laferte, Femme Fatal- rusowsky, DAISY- Lido Pimienta, La Belleza This episode was produced by Noah Caldwell.

  4. Roots and unity at the Latin Grammys

    Roots and unity at the Latin Grammys

    The annual Latin Grammy awards are always full of glamour and glitz. But they're also an ideal time to take the pulse of the industry - which is exactly what Anamaria Sayre did this year, perusing the red carpet to talk with the most exciting names in Latin music.  In this episode, Ana brings Felix her report from Las Vegas, where Bad Bunny won Album of the Year, the independent Brazilian music scene made a splash, and the whole industry seemed to be saying: "Show us where you're from."

  5. Rosalía in her own words

    12/11/2025

    Rosalía in her own words

    Spanish vocalist and composer Rosalía has been a major presence in Spanish language music since she released her 2018 album, "El Mal Querer." She started by leaning into her flamenco roots, but since then she has expanded her musical vision to become one of those musicians who defies category. Her new album "LUX" stretches that descriptor to its limit. Her musical tools this time include the London Symphony Orchestra, singing in 13 languages, guests like Icelandic performer Björk, and her own vocals that hit operatic heights. This week, Ana and Felix dissect the album and play excerpts from Ana's interview with Rosalía. How can you go wrong? You can read extended highlights of Ana's interview with Rosalía at NPR.org This episode was produced by Noah Caldwell. The executive producer of NPR Music is Suraya Mohamed.

  6. Portraits of Jazz and Identity in Latin America

    05/11/2025

    Portraits of Jazz and Identity in Latin America

    Ever since I heard the Argentine saxophonist Gato Barbieri back in the Seventies, I’ve been fascinated by musicians from South America who found their way to jazz. Lately there seems to be a strong showing of contemporary musicians from various Latin American countries who not only play jazz but also mix certain Latin American folk traditions into their sound. So, this week I spoke with six of them: vocalist Claudia Acuña from Chile, Argentine vocalists Sofia Rei and Roxana Amed, Mexican vocalist Magos Herrera, guitarist/vocalist Camila Meza and tenor saxophonist Melissa Aldana. Each has a story about identity, living the jazz dream and how they came to jazz. Hopefully you’ll use this roadmap to start your own journey into jazz, if you haven’t already. - Felix Music heard in this episode: Claudia Acuña - “Prelude To A Kiss”Sofia Rei - “El Gavilán”Gato Barieri - “To Be Continued”Roxana Amed - “Corazón delator”Mangos Herrera - “Luz de Luna”Camila Meza - “Utopia”Melissa Aldana - “A Purpose” Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoices NPR Privacy Policy

  7. Salsa, bossa nova, and Argentina's next big thing

    29/10/2025

    Salsa, bossa nova, and Argentina's next big thing

    Not to sound like a broken record, but I'll say it again: the variety of creative expression in what is inadequately labeled "Latin music" continues to astound me. From the bossa nova-by-way-of-Guatemala of Fabuloso and Los Skeepers, to the evolving torch singing of the Chilean-via-Mexico vocalist Mon Laferte, to the ‘Western noir’ of California singer Andrés Miguel Cervantes, to Nathy Peluso’s Argentine take on Seventies New York City salsa, to jazz from southern Spain’s Chano Domínguez... how do we even try to keep up with this kind of output? Someone has to do it, and we’re glad it’s us. Featured artists and songs: - Milo J, 'OLIMPO', 'Bajo De La Piel', 'Jangadero'- Fabuloso & Los Skeepers, 'Si Te Gusta'- Mon Laferte, 'Las Flores Que Dejaste En La Mesa', '1:30'- Chano Domínguez & Emaginario, 'March Of The Siguiriyas'- Nathy Peluso, 'ÁNGEL'- Andrés Miguel Cervantes, 'Dreams of Jacumba' This podcast episode was produced by Noah Caldwell.

    What's in our mailbag? The beauty of simplicity

    The past month has been a whirlwind. The El Tiny takeover of the Tiny Desk... interviews with some of the most exciting artists in Latin music... and, of course, puppets! So, for today's episode, we emerge from the craziness and dig into our neglected mailbag, which is brimming with new music. What did we find? Simple beauty. A young songwriter from Veracruz whose spare compositions have wowed his elders. An offbeat producer from Madrid. And, a joyful ode to a city half a millennium old.  Featured artists and songs: - Arath Herce, "Musas en Mi" and "Quien Pensaría" - iLe, "Si Te Contara" - TRISTAN!, "Voyage" and "Ártico" - Venezonix ft. Pahua, "La Soledad" - Meme de Real, "Estaba Sentado" and "Embeces" - Bomba Estereo ft. Carlos Vives, "La Samaria" This podcast was produced by Noah Caldwell.
